Think back to your childhood days in the school playground, to all of those different games that you used to play with your friends. Why did we ever stop playing them? The one thing that children have over adults is that they know how to have a good time without the pressure of things like sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Don’t you wish sometimes that you could go back to those simple times every now and then (of course, I’m not saying that a little sexiness can’t come in to it at times!)? Well here’s the thing, you can! And there's an added bonus. Some of these games definitely count as exercise! So what’s stopping you? Here are fifteen kids games that are fun to play as an adult.
1. Hide and Seek
This game is even more fun when you are an adult, because you are so much bigger and have to come up with even more inventive hiding places!
***
Hide and Seek is a classic game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With adults, the game is even more fun because of the larger size of the players and their ability to come up with creative hiding places. This game is a great way to stay active and have a good time with friends and family. It can be played both indoors and outdoors, depending on the weather and the size of the playing area. It is also a great way to get a group of people to interact and have fun together. Hide and Seek can be adapted for different age groups and even made into a competitive game with teams. No matter how it's played, Hide and Seek is sure to bring a smile to everyone's face.
2. Sardines
It used to be innocent, but just think about all of the possibilities that could arise from laying down with a group of people in close proximity, lights dimmed and imagination high!
***
Sardines is a classic game of hide-and-seek, but with a twist. Instead of one person hiding, everyone hides in the same spot. The last person to find the hiding spot is the sardine. This game is perfect for adults since it encourages creativity and problem-solving skills. It also fosters teamwork and communication, as the players must work together to find the best hiding spot. Moreover, the game can be played indoors or outdoors, making it a great option for any type of gathering. Sardines is a great way to bring people together in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and it's sure to bring plenty of laughter.
